Roll Call. The Senate needs 67 votes to convict Trump. They have 50. 17 needed.

First let's address the fact that there is not a single dem that will vote not to convict.
Pure politics.
They still need 17. They will get the gang.
1- Romney (is his second time to vote to convict)
2- Collins
3- Toomey
4- Sasse
5- Murkowski
The next 12 will follow Mitch's lead
6- Mitch
7- Burr
8- Lee
9- Capito
10- Tillis
11- Sullivan
12- Crapo
13-
14-
15-
16-
17-
Having a hard time getting to 17. But I 100% believe Mitch will try to deliver.

fricking piece of shite scum congress.

Who's presiding over this vote? Leahy? Then it's unconstitutional. You can't have an impeachment trial without the Chief Justice. There is no provision in the Constitution for an alternate. Lots of people are debating whether or not you can impeach someone after they have left office. But on this point the Constitution is crystal clear. CJSCOTUS must preside. Imagine a prosecutor trying to have a trial with someone who isn't sworn in as a judge presiding. No Roberts = no trial.

The GOP will destroy themselves for good. And strangely I think they want to. They are pussies.

Even with no Robert’s, it is a bigger farce to make one of the jurors into the presiding judge.
Posted on 2/8/21 at 10:56 pm to BamaGradinTn
Is Roberts refusing to participate? If so, why doesn’t SCOTUS just end it
Posted on 2/8/21 at 10:57 pm to Jjdoc
This is all theater.
Even if by some miracle they convict it will appeal to SCOTUS and it is obviously unconstitutional and even Robert’s himself has said so.

Cornyn will vote how Mitch tells him to vote.
That Lurch looking guy from Louisiana, and Shelby, the retiring senator from Alabama, too.

Exactly.

Ye, he has refused because he doesn't believe it's constitutional to try someone after leaving office. Patrick Leahy is presiding.

That's not how SCOTUS works. It's the final court of appeal. They just don't meet and decide something on their own without a case being brought before them.
Now, the question that should be asked is why hasn't Trump's team filed a motion to stop the proceedings on this basis? He even has Roberts on his side.

leahy presiding and voting is the judge also serving on the jury
Posted on 2/8/21 at 11:21 pm to Jjdoc
And Trump will run in 2024 making the Dems go to SCOTUS to rule that he can not be barred from office

If a Texas Senator votes to impeach he will not survive the year.
That's just a fact.
There is not enough Mexicans in the Valley or Vegans in Austin to save him.

After reading all these comments and following this garbage for months now, the Democrats must be scared SHITLESS of Trump. I mean they are desperate to do ANYTHING to keep the man from running in 2024. It really hit home with me tonight for some reason. I need to stop watching the news completely. All this is sick.

Trump's decision making when it comes to lawyers has never been keen. From Roy Cohn to Michael Cohen, his lawyers have been a revolving door of shadiness or incompetence. Hire a constitutional scholar like Turley and a seasoned appellate attorney to preempt this damn thing.

They're going tp count these twelve 23 times.

Doesn't matter who he hires. By the time it goes to "court" and Leahy decides, it will be 2024. Trump will appeal and it will go to the SCOTUS and get stalled. By the time they rule it unconstitutional, the election will be over.
It's a timing thing. That's it.
